I just did ./configure then make and install. I used a guide on how to compile Wine on OS X Tiger (I'm using Leopard though) and that was pretty much all it said, apart from satisfying dependencies.
My path is as follows:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
Does that look ok?
I have deleted the version I compiled myself to try another one, so will recompile it and try what you suggested. Also, could you confirm I'm using the correct sources? I downloaded from here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&package_id=77449
When that didn't work, I tried using the Darwinports version, but that just gave me the good old black screen again.
